The widow of Nirvana star Kurt Cobain had dropped hints weeks ago about a tryst with a female pin-up, who she claimed chased her round a room, leading to a sex session. And in a startling new magazine interview, the 45-year-old singer has now claimed: "It was Kate Moss. She doesn't care."

Love has also alleged that many of her female friends in London had slept with Kate. "It's a great story for the grandchildren, so yeah. Kate wasn't doing a lot of drugs. It was just a thing that happened in Milan in the Nineties," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"It happened and it was fun and whatever. And she talks about it and so I hope she doesn't get mad that I outed her about it. I feel like such a kiss and tell. Kate's great, though! Kate's a good friend of mine. I almost bought her house in St John's Wood, London," she added.
